Municipal Services

Kitchener is part of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, which means that some of the services that are provided to citizens are the responsibility of the city and others are the responsibility of the region.

Residents pay taxes to both orders of government and both the city and the region have councils that set their respective budgets.

The following chart outlines and provides quick links to some of the key areas of responsibility for the City of Kitchener and the Region of Waterloo.
